Matthew 5:36
Matthew 5:36 New King James Version (NKJV)
Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
Matthew 5:33-37 The Message (MSG)
“And don’t say anything you don’t mean. This counsel is embedded deep in our traditions. You only make things worse when you lay down a smoke screen of pious talk, saying, ‘I’ll pray for you,’ and never doing it, or saying, ‘God be with you,’ and not meaning it. You don’t make your words true by embellishing them with religious lace. In making your speech sound more religious, it becomes less true. Just say ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.
Matthew 5:36 King James Version (KJV)
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Don’t even swear by your own head, because you cannot make one hair on your head become white or black.
